Raritan River power
Title:  Raritan River power
Description:  In 1980, Conrail absorbed one of Jerseys more obscure operations, the Raritan River RR, which had a base of operations in South Amboy. I never saw them while they were independent, but did finally catch their SW, still in its original colors, but with a CR number, while watching commuter trains one afternoon.

Anyone can play
Title:  Anyone can play
Description:  In 1984, some of the smaller and older units had not been repainted, especially if they were not going to be around long. Here we see a GP 9 in LV paint, its heritage showing through the paint over, and a pair of switchers, one in the Raritan Valley scheme, one Reading. It was quite the rainbow.
